On a sweltering Monday morning, the weekly coaching session this week got off to a slow start with some trainees, and a coach, keeping cool in the Clubhouse. John P might tell you they were talking tactics but ……..
In The Heat of the Day
Next 3 Thursdays and the GBBO (Great Bowling Bake Off)
Message from the Club Secretary Dave H: Just to let you all know that there is no friendly game this week but those who turn up should get together and form teams and play amongst yourselves. The following Thursday, 28th, we are playing Rhos on Sea at the Vardre. Please turn up before 1.30pm please.
On Thursday, 4th August it is Girls against Guys. If you want to play put your name on the list on the noticeboard.
Finally, we only have 2 names for the baking competition. If it stays that way I’m afraid it will be postponed until more of you have practiced the art! Let me know if you are in.
Conwy Bowling Festival
Want to know more about this event in which Vardre Deganwy is participating by hosting some competitions? You’ve been asked to help but what is it all about? Simple – just Click Here to visit the website that will reveal all.
Pressed-At-Inn
For Captain Ian’s report from Saturday’s match at Prestatyn Click Here. The roads were nice and clear in both directions travelling to and from the game so school holidays were not yet having an impact on journeys for league matches on Saturdays.

Whether the Weather is Hot
Take care folks over the next few days. Weather warnings abound but keep up to date with the forecast on the BBC website. Please make sure you use some sunscreen, remember your bottle of water and don’t rush around too much on those greens. A hat or parasol is also highly recommended.

Fiendishly Friendly
Lots of people attended the Friendly at Craig y Don Bowling Green yesterday which gave a perfect opportunity for many of our newer members to play doubles competitively in a friendly environment. It was also a chance for them to learn about playing on another green, against supportive opponents, who also valued new players in the sport, no matter what club they played for.
Our thanks to Shan and others for organising the event and to everyone at Craig y Don. We all needed the help and support of others when each of us started out playing crown green bowls and, without that help and support, we would not be where we are now – still practising and trying to improve our skills! A lifetime’s work of fun and achievement.
If you haven’t yet played in a Friendly, why not give it a go at the next one?
Help Is At Hand (Hopefully)
We have been asked to host three matches as part of the week-long Conwy Bowls Festival. Top players will be at the green on: Monday, 1st August from 12.30pm ‘til 5pm Tuesday; 2nd August from 9.30pm ‘til 1pm; and, Wednesday, 3rd August from 4.30pm ‘til 9pm (approx. times).
We are looking for some help to make these events a success and if you could give us a few hours of your time to help either serving tea/coffee and biscuits or to ‘do tapes’ that would be really helpful.
You can let me know and/or there will be notice in the clubhouse so that you can put your name on any of the dates that you are available.
Your help is appreciated. Dave H, Club Secretary
